Monster Party
Monster Party (1989)

Attachment The game's prototype, entitled "Parody World: Monster Party", vastly differs from the final game graphically. Most notably, the title screen featured blood instead of green slime, and many of the enemies and bosses were originally parodies of copyrighted movie characters or mythological creatures:
• The man-eating plant was originally Audrey II from the 1982 musical "Little Shop of Horrors" and shot quarter notes instead of bubbles.
• The Jack-O-Lantern was originally Caesar from the "Planet of the Apes" film series, and the background of the fight featured the famed image of the destroyed Statue of Liberty from the original 1968 film.
• The gorgon snake was originally a humanoid, most likely Medusa.
• The ghost man was originally a mummy.
• The giant spider was originally the titular antagonist of the 1982 film "The Thing".
• The giant cat-in-a-box was originally a gremlin from the 1984 film "Gremlins".
• The grim reaper was originally an alien robot resembling a Xenomorph from the "Alien" franchise.
• The vampire ghoul bore more of a resemblance to a stereotypical vampire.
• The projectiles released by the eggs in Round 2 were originally Facehuggers from the "Alien" franchise.
• The baseball catcher enemy was originally Jason Voorhees from the "Friday the 13th" franchise.
• The ghosts were originally "jiangshi": Chinese hopping vampires.

These graphical aspects were mainly changed both due to Nintendo of America's stringent censorship policy and the risk of copyright lawsuits, due to the United States' more strict copyright laws compared to Japan.

When Malik uses his "Eternal Serenade" Mystic Arte to finish off Spoiler:Lambda, the final boss of the main storyline, he will claim it to be the last time he uses said move.

However should the player later win any battle using this move in the "Lineage and Legacies" mode set after the main story, with the above criteria achieved, a special victory scene will play where Sophie points out that Malik stated he'd not use the move again. Malik will humourously lie and claim that he was referring to his other move "Eternally Sauteed."

Baz was created by Matt and Woolie of the let's play series TwoBestFriends as a backer reward for pledging to the game's Kickstarter. Baz has appeared in multiple games which Matt and Woolie have put him in as a Kickstarter pledge incentive.

Setting the date of the console or PC that the game is running on back to December 13th, 2004 (the day the game's developer, Rocksteady, was founded) and talking to Calender Man in the court house basement triggers special dialogue from him where he claims that "the end is near" and when it comes, he'll be there. This is likely a reference to the final game of the series, Batman: Arkham Knight, which was in development at the time, as well as it being the final entry in the Arkham game series.

This easter egg wasn't found by fans until 3 years after the game's release, when Rocksteady hinted at it's existence.

The cameo battle of this game has the player fight a team of four characters from previous Tales games, including Cless Alvein/Cress Albane and Mint Adenade from Tales of Phantasia and Stahn Aileron and Rutee Katrea from Tales of Destiny. To unlock said cameo battle, the player must fully complete Illusionary Darkness, the game's EX Dungeon and the "Femme Fatale" sidequests that Mint and Rutee host, then go to Xian Du's arena and participate in the Elite Team challenge. After defeating the last opponents in that bracket, the cameo team will immediately appear.

Spoiler:Defeating them allows the player to view an extra ending where Cress and the group offer to help Ludger save Elle from Bisley as well as deal with Chronos and Origin's Trial. Should the player agree to let them handle it, Cress will use his Eternal Sword to transport himself and his group to Canaan where they easily deal with Bisley and Chronos and return Elle to Ludger.

The credits sequence seen in this ending feature messages from the developers thanking the player.

During the events at Warrior's Roost's "Riot Peak" challenge, the player is assisted by a black robed guardian.

Upon completing the Riot Peak Normal class, the player will meet with and be challenged by the guardian, who reveals himself to be Veigue Lungberg, the main character of Tales of Rebirth. Upon defeating him, the player earns the Laevatein sword for Asbel. Veigue will also put in a Request for the player to find a sword named "Requiem" for him.

The player can challenge Veigue again any time they desire after winning or losing to him, although should the player challenge him after winning, they will have to fight him solo with the character they have chosen.

The player can also battle Amber Hearts from Tales of Hearts, and Reala from Tales of Destiny 2, within the bonus dungeon "Zhonecage." When beaten, they give out requests for certain weapons. Once these requests are fulfilled, Amber and Reala can fight alongside Veigue in the final battle of Riot Peak.

Attachment Kazuya Sakakihara, a senior software engineer who previously worked for Sony during the creation of the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, left his name within a snippet of code used for the PlayStation 4's hard drive. The location of his name in the code is unusual, as names are often left in a separate part of code data for storing comment data, often in abbreviation or initials. However, in the case of Kazuya Sakakihara, his name is left in full within the middle of the data unencrypted, although with a minor spelling mistake.
